Dragon boat

If you were to watch this video, you would know the Teochew word for a dragon boat.  

It is called king1ziu1 輕舟|轻舟 [a light boat] but the guy in Am1bou1 Ding3 庵埠鎮 actually said kêng1ziu1, which is a dragon boat used for a dragon boat race. 

Am’bou is a town situated near Teochew City.

According to the gentleman in the video, lêng5zung5 龍船|龙船 is actually a much bigger boat used by an Emperor.
